Do the D-A-N-C-E
One, two, three, four, fight

That's how you make it right

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Justice's song Dance are about shutting up and dancing to the music. The song plays with the idea of getting lost in the music and letting go of all inhibitions. The opening lines of the song suggest that the singer is tired of talking and simply wants to listen to the music. They urge the listener to get up and dance, as the alternative is to lose out on the experience.


The chorus of the song reinforces this message, telling the listener to shut up and dance. There is a sense of urgency in the lyrics, as if the moment is fleeting and it is important to take advantage of it before it is too late. The repeated refrain of "shut up and dance" is catchy and memorable, driving home the message that the music is the most important thing.


Overall, the song is a celebration of the power of music to bring people together and create a shared experience. The Justice reminds us that sometimes the best thing to do is to stop talking and start dancing.


Line by Line Meaning

Its nine on the dot
The time now is nine o'clock sharp


And were just talking we talk
We're just talking and talking endlessly without any action


And I just wanted to stop
I really want to end this conversation and start dancing


'Cause aren't we here for the music
The purpose of us being here is to dance to the music


And if you dare, just get up out of your chair cuz this ain't going nowhere
If you have the courage, stand up from your seat because this conversation is leading nowhere


We've got to move or your loosing
We need to start dancing or we'll be missing out


All I want to know (Know) Is when were letting go so We can get this record to break
I'm interested to know when we will start dancing so we can make this song a hit


What we waste to top (top) We never can rewind All I'm really trying to say
We shouldn't waste this moment because we can never bring back time, that's all I want to say


Is shut up n dance Show me watcha got Shut up n dance Are you in or not You moving your mouth baby don't speak Well shut up n dance If your into me
Stop talking and start dancing with me, show me your best moves and let's see if we're on the same page in our feelings for each other


'Cause I cant want no more Just get off the floor Don't stop now is your chance
I can't take it anymore, please start dancing and don't miss this opportunity


Shut up n dance Till we drop 'Cause I'm sick of this space in between You and me lying up Till were making a scene Quit the talk let it rock If you know what I mean
Let's dance until we're exhausted, and I'm tired of the distance between us, we need to dance close enough to make a scene, stop the small talk and just dance if you know what I mean


Shut up n dance Show me what you got Shut up n dance Are you in or not Your moving your mouth baby don't speak Well shut up n dance If your into me
Stop talking and dance with me, are you in or not? Talking is not necessary in dancing, dance with me if you're interested


'Cause I can't wait no more Get off the floor Don't stop now its our chance
I can't wait any longer, get up and dance with me, and don't stop now because this is our chance


Shut up n dance dance dance dance Shut up n dance dance dance dance Put up your hands hands hands hands yeah Shut up n dance dance dance dance yeah Shut up n dance
Stop talking and start dancing, put your hands up and continue dancing, stop talking and just dance

Just realizing that the whole music is a tribute to Michael Jackson by its lyrics :

"Stick to the B.E.A.T" for beat it
"You were such a P.Y.T" for the music P.Y.T (pretty yougn thing)
"Just easy as A-B-C" and "One, two, three, four, fight!" with the jackson five
"You're always there for music and me" is a reference to an album of MJ named Music and Me

"Catching all the lights" for the glove and other glitters
"Neither black nor white" for Black or White
"Working day and night" refers to Working Day and Night on the album Off the Wall

Do the dance, do the dance ...
Under the spotlight ...
The way you move is a mystery ...

OMGGG !!! I've been searching this song for my whole life !!!

First heard it when i was a kid. It was hard for me since back then i didn't know english. I couldn't remember the lyric, all i knew was that the music video kept spelling words again and again.

Today, i've tried my luck with the "video suggestions". I started with senior junior - move your feet, clicked through some suggested videos then BAM !!! picture of the shirts and a spelling tittle D.A.N.C.E appeared.

And then i knew " this must be it, this must be the fucking one ". Couldn't click on the video right away cuz i didn't believe that finally it was here.

And OMG when the song started, i fcking SMASHED everything in my room. I'm so happy i can die without any regret. The happiest day of my life

people are sad about Daft Punk but artists like Justice are the reasons why their influence can never fade

@@staigenerator2949 to each their own. personally i feel the woman album is the biggest disappointment i actually like the second album. but what i said doesn't mean their the new daft punk.

@justafidemyself

@@staigenerator2949 I disagree, every album is a masterpiece. Audio, Video, Disco is in my top 5 albums of all time along with RAM.
